IAS Physics Group Meeting

On a $Z_3$ Topological Term in 10d Heterotic String Theories
Yuji Tachikawa
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS)

Abstract: I will compare the gravitational sectors of two 10d heterotic string theories, with E8 x E8 and Spin(32)/$Z_2$ gauge groups, and show that they differ by a subtle $Z_3$-valued topological term. I also discuss its relation to the...

Princeton University Machine Learning in Physics

Supervised and unsupervised algorithms for measuring animal behavior
Joshua Shaevitz
4:30pm|Jadwin Hall Room A10

For the past decade, my group has worked on supervised and unsupervised algorithms that take video data of behaving animals as inputs and discover stereotyped dynamics in the motion of body parts. We have used these techniques to study the patterns...

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar

Micromirror confinement of sub-TeV cosmic rays in galaxy clusters
Patrick Reichherzer
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall

Recent observations reveal that cosmic rays (CRs) are more tightly confined in various astrophysical systems (e.g. radio bubbles) than current theories predict. I show that microscale magnetic fluctuations, particularly from the mirror instability...

Princeton University Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Seminar Series

2030STEM: A Project to Accelerate a More Diverse STEM Workforce
Jackie Faherty
2:00pm|Jadwin Hall, PCTS 407 seminar room (4th floor)

The 2030STEM project was created in 2020 as a response to the call to action which happened surrounding the death of George Floyd. With an award from the Alfred P Sloan Foundation as well as the Heising Simons Foundation, our team of co-founders...

Rutgers University Astrophysics Colloquium

Previewing Roman's Survey of Stellar Halos Using the FOGGIE Simulations
Anna Wright
3:30pm|Serin Hall Rm W330, Rutgers and Zoom

Over the next decade, the astronomical community will be deploying a number of instruments that will revolutionize our understanding of the low surface brightness universe. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, in particular, will combine extreme...

Joint PU/IAS Number Theory

Higher Congruences For Modular Forms and Zeta Elements
Eric Urban
4:30pm|*Princeton University, Fine 214*

In a recent joint work with S. Iyengar, C. Khare and J. Manning, we use their notion of congruence modules in higher codimension to give a new construction of the bottom class of the rank d=[F:\Q] Euler system attached to nearly ordinary Hilbert...
